Broccolini Pesto

In an attempt to try something new, I made broccolini. A bitter, spicy rendition on broccoli. I was surprised at the volume of greens on the stems. Instead of composting the leaves, I turned it into a pesto.

Swap the greens and nuts/seeds in this recipe to create your own rendition. Carrot top pesto, anyone?
